No, all of the myriad of date/datetime/time/etc informats (used to INPUT a value) are part of the SAS language. Most of those that are SMF-related were created in 1972-73 when I was at State Farm Auto Insurance (the first SAS customer) when I found SAS and found it could easily read SMF efficiently. The RMF formats were added probably in 1976 for the original MF-1, the predecessor to RMF.
